New Trailer For The Lone Ranger

Can not wait to see this!
The Lone Ranger
Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ The Lone Ranger is a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption. The Lone Ranger also stars Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson and Helena Bonham Carter.

THE LONE RANGER rides into theaters on July 3rd!

Monday Giveaway : Quinny Yezz

The Quinny Yezz

Designed using the latest technology and lightest materials, the Quinny® Yezz weighs only 11 pounds. And unlike any stroller on the market, the Yezz features an adjustable carry strap that transforms the stroller for hands free backpack-like carrying which makes it ideal for travel! I would have loved to have two of these when the girls were small and we often traveled by public transit!

The stroller switches from pushing to carrying and back again within seconds. The Quinny® Yezz features six interchangeable seats so parents can pick their own fashion (or refresh for the next kiddo!) It is available in the following fashions: Blue Loop, Yellow Move, Blue Track, Grey Road, Red Signal and Purple Rush. Made for children from 6 months to 40lbs, so if you have skinny minnies like me you could use this stroller for a LONG time.

Quinny had an exciting day on Sunday as the new Quinny Yezz conquered New York City. 400 lucky Big Apple Moms lined the streets of Manhattan to receive a free Yezz stroller. Some Quinny fans braved the rain to line up as early as 2:00 a.m. But no waiting in line for you my friends! You can enter to win a brand new stroller right here on The Guavalicious Life!

Setup Summer : Get the Car Summer Ready!

Disclosure: I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. Part of this content has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias® and FRAM. I was free to write what I wanted and all opinions are my own.

Today is three weeks until summer for us! As you can probably guess, I am basing summer on the date my kids start their break from the regular school year. Even though they have summer school (free in our school district for all kids), the end of the school year means summer is officially here.

To us, summer equals road trips. We go to see family in Texas and Oklahoma; we spend the weekends driving to Missouri sites; we drive all around our city during the day. With my kids’ allergies, it’s important to me that our car be healthy of an environment as possible. I can’t control what affects them all the time, but I can control what affects them in the car (especially on those ten hour trips!)

Finding My Fashion Passion Again

It’s a fact that most moms are lacking when it comes to spare time. Raising kids is a cumbersome experience, especially when you’re trying to juggle a career with it. Which these days, it seems like every one is. This leaves little room for experimenting with fashion and style so it, for me at least, takes a backseat. But who says moms can’t look good?

I am getting back on the horse.
These are the 4 Fashion Rules for Moms I am following…

#1: Get the Right Fit

One of the key things is wearing clothes that actually fit. I am still carrying some post pregnancy weight that I am working on getting rid of soon. So I am avoiding clothes that are too big for you. Too much of fabric makes me look heavier and I also care less about what I look like which leads to more eating. I’d rather have a slight muffin top (covered of course) so I am reminded to put down the actual muffins.

#2: Go for Comfortable and Stylish Footwear

My shoes are the worst. So this is where I am spending a nit more cash on some trendy looking sneakers that I can exercise in and wear after. I am also pulling out gladiator flats and ballet flats now that the weather is warm.

#3: Buy Clothes that Breathe

When it comes to buying clothes, go for the ones that breathe well and are comfy to wear. And of course are washable. Right from cotton tunics to boot cut jeans, you’ll find that such fabrics are great when it comes to creating a your stylish wardrobe. At times you may also want to go for clothes that are a great choice when you want to wear them both at home and outside. When shopping for such clothes you should check out the promo deals at NerdWallet so that you can save money on your purchases.

#4: Use Trendy Accessories

Want to create a unique/stylish look for yourself with spending gobs of money? Get yourself to Forever 21. It’s my go to spot for trendy accessories. Be it handbags, hats, scarves or even jewelry, you can look and feel trendy without investing a lot of money or time. The latest retail emphasis on jewelry that is bold and bright in color, makes it easy to create a look with absolute minimal effort. All it takes is a bright, thin scarf over a neutrally colored shirt and blue jeans to make through the day looking like my old self.

Give to Mom, While Giving Back : The Edna Adan Print

beautiful-thing-you-have-made
It’s Sunday evening and I am working on Sunday Supper. I would like to make this more of a tradition for our little family. However, this will not be the week we all sit down together. My husband is busy recaulking our bathroom and the girls are being treated to a rare Redbox movie (Angelina Ballerina Mousling Mysteries, if you were wondering.)
